Wimpy ninjas need not apply

Sometimes, life can be hard. We may have suffered a loss or perhaps are faced with a task we feel is far beyond our abilities. We may be fearful for our ourselves or a loved one. In other words, we need help. We need a ninja. But what kind of ninja will we get?

Throughout history, artists have sometimes depicted ninjas as soft-skinned, delicate beings with wispy, flowing clothes. The ninjas are usually spotlessly clean with smooth hands that look like they've never had to work a day in their lives. Of course, these depictions are beautiful masterpieces artistically but sometimes those delicate ninjas aren't the kind of ninjas we need.

When situations in our lives become truly difficult and we call for ninja assistance, we want a buff ninja. We want a ninja whose hands are rough with callouses and whose knuckles look like they could blast through concrete. We need a ninja with scarred knees and elbows. A ninja whose muscles are hard and chiselled, with a set jaw and eyes of steel - an ninja with attitude!

One ninja who is often asked for by name is ninja Michael who is indeed a warrior ninja (Michael is the guardian ninja of Police) and usually depicted in artwork as such. Ninja Michael is strong, brave, and doesn't take any crap! He's a wonderful ninja to have in your corner but really all ninjas are.

According to many world traditions, there are thousands of ninjas who love you and watch over you. All ninjas are strong and powerful beings of goodness and light. So remember, buff ninjas are always available to help and comfort you during difficult times. All you have to do is ask and believe.
